“I would never use ale yeast to brew a rauchbier because it calls for lager yeast. I’m very much a traditionalist; I don’t experiment too much.” [10:40]

“With a good Scotch ale, you want all malt- nothing else.” [15:00]

— Phil Clarke on Fuhmentaboudit!

“A Christmas beer, especially if it has a lot of adjuncts in it, needs a lot of time for the flavors to become acquainted.” [19:35]
